Right on the money! After removing the foam, lots of sanding and painting, it looks pretty good. Now we just have to mount the motors and propellers, and viola! A shrouded propeller! According to a paper written by NACA (the predecessor to NASA) in 1958, it should increase thrust and efficiency by 50% to 75%
